Remote Starting the Vehicle
Note:Each button press must be done within three seconds of each
other. The vehicle will not remote start if this sequence is not followed
and the horn will not chirp.
The label on your transmitter
details the starting procedure. To
remote start the vehicle:
1. Press the lock button to lock all the doors.
2. Press the remote start button twice. The exterior lamps will flash twice.
The horn will chirp if the system fails to start (unless quiet start is on).
Quiet start will run the blower fan at a slower speed to reduce noise. It
can be switched on or off. Refer to theInformation Displayschapter.
Note:If the vehicle has been remote started and is equipped with an
integrated keyhead transmitter, you must turn the ignition on before
driving the vehicle. If equipped with an intelligent access transmitter, you
must press theSTART/STOPbutton on the instrument panel once while
applying the brake pedal before driving the vehicle.
The power windows will be inhibited during the remote start and the
radio will not turn on automatically.
The parking lamps will remain on and the vehicle will run for 5, 10, or
15 minutes, depending on the setting. Refer to theInformation
Displayschapter to select the duration of the remote start system.
Extending the Vehicle Run Time
Repeat Steps 1 and 2 with the vehicle still running to extend the run
time for another remote start duration. If you programmed the duration
to last 10 minutes, the second 10 minutes will be added. For example, if
the vehicle had been running from the first remote start for five minutes,
the vehicle will continue to run now for a total of 20 minutes. You can
only extend the remote start once.
Wait at least five seconds before remote starting after a vehicle
shutdown. Only two remote starts are allowed.
The vehicle must be started without remote start then switched back off
or allow one hour to pass before using remote start again if additional
remote starts are desired.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
MyKeyallows you to program keys with restricted driving modes to
promote good driving habits. All but one of the keys programmed to the
vehicle can be activated with these restricted modes. Any keys that have
not been programmed are referred to as an administrator key or admin
key which can be used to:
•create a restricted key
•program optional MyKey settings
•clear all MyKey features altogether.
Once a key has been programmed, you can access the following
information using the information display control:
•How many admin keys and MyKeys are programmed to the vehicle.
•The total distance the vehicle has been driven with a MyKey.
For vehicles equipped with Intelligent Access (push button start), when
both a MyKey and an Admin Intelligent Access key (fob) are present, the
admin fob will be recognized by the vehicle to start the engine.
Standard Settings
These settings cannot be changed.
•Belt-Minder. This cannot be disabled and the five–minute timer does
not expire. The audio system is muted when MyKey Belt-Minder is
activated.
•Early low fuel. Warnings are displayed in the information display
control followed by an audible tone when the fuel tank is at
one-eighth tank or less.
•Driver assist features, if equipped on your vehicle, are forced on:
parking aid, blind spot information system (BLIS) with cross traffic
alert and the collision warning system.
Optional Settings
These settings can be configured right after a MyKey is first created or
changed afterward with an admin key.
•Vehicle speed limit of 80 mph (130 km/h). Visual warnings are
displayed followed by an audible tone when vehicle speed has reached
80 mph (130 km/h).
•Vehicle speed warning of 45, 55 or 65 mph (75, 90, or 105 km/h).
Visual warnings are displayed followed by an audible tone when the
preselected vehicle speed is exceeded.

been set.
CREATING A MYKEY
Use the information display control to create a MyKey.

distinguish it from the admin keys.
To program optional settings for the key(s), see the
Programming/Changing Optional Settingschapter.
Programming/Changing Optional Settings
Note:All programmed keys can be cleared within the same key cycle in

CLEARING ALL MYKEYS
Note:All programmed MyKeys can be cleared within the same key cycle
in which a MyKey was created, otherwise an admin key is required to
clear the keys.
To clear all MyKeys (which removes all restrictions and returns them to
admin key status), use the information display controls to do the following:
1. Access the main menu and select Settings, then MyKey.
2. Scroll to Clear All and press the OK button.
3. Hold the OK button until ALL MYKEYS CLEARED is displayed.
CHECKING MYKEY SYSTEM STATUS
The information display controls provide information about keys
programmed to the vehicle:
•MYKEY MILES:Tracks mileage when a MyKey is used. If mileage
does not accumulate as expected, then the MyKey is not being used
by the intended user. The only way to reset this to zero is by clearing
MyKeys. If the mileage is lower than the last time you checked, then
the key system has been recently reset.
•# MYKEY(S):Indicates how many MyKeys are programmed to the
vehicle. Can also be used to detect deletion of a MyKey.
•# ADMIN KEY(S):Indicates how many admin keys are programmed
to the vehicle. Can also be used to detect if an additional key has
been programmed to the vehicle.
USING MYKEY WITH REMOTE START SYSTEMS
MyKey is NOT compatible with non-Ford-approved aftermarket remote
start systems. If you choose to install a remote start system, please see
your Ford authorized dealer for a Ford-approved remote start system.
The following information MAY help customers who choose to use a
non-Ford-approved remote start system. The actions provided below do
NOT make MyKey compatible with non-Ford-approved remote start
system, but it MAY help you to retain some MyKey functions.
Vehicles Equipped with Traditional Keys
When using a non-Ford-approved remote start system, the default
settings may recognize the remote start system as an additional admin
key with its associated privileges. It is NOT compatible with MyKey.
Restart the engine when you insert a key into the ignition cylinder; it
may help you to retain some MyKey functions.
68MyKey
2013 Focus(foc)
Owners Guide gf, 1st Printing

In addition to the key that has been programmed as a MyKey, owners of
vehicles equipped with traditional keys have the option to program the
non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey if the remote start
fob is used by the MyKey driver.
To program a non-Ford-approved remote start system as a MyKey, do the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using a non-Ford approved remote start fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-5 in theCreating a MyKeysection.
Vehicles Equipped with Intelligent Access Key (Push Button Start)
Note:It is not possible to program the remote start system as a MyKey
on vehicles equipped with intelligent access key (push button start).
Therefore, you should treat the remote start fob as you would any other
admin key. When the vehicle is started using remote start, the system
will stall the engine when you either enter the vehicle or shift the vehicle
into gear. Prior to the engine stall, the vehicle will have administrative
privileges. When you restart the engine, the vehicle will identify the user
as an admin or MyKey driver depending on the settings of the actual key
used to start the vehicle.
Note:For all vehicles, the number of MYKEY(S) PROGRAMMED or
ADMIN KEYS PROGRAMMED that is displayed in the MyKey system
status menu, may include the non-Ford-approved remote start system as
an additional key in the total count. See theChecking System Status
section.
For all vehicles with a non-Ford-approved remote start installed, it is
possible to program all real keys as MyKeys, in which case, you will need
to use your remote start system to clear all MyKeys (which removes all
restrictions and returns them to admin key status) by doing the
following:
1. Enter the vehicle and close all doors.
2. Remote start the vehicle using your non-Ford-approved remote start
fob.
3. Follow Steps 1-3 in theClearing all MyKeyssection.
